In general

Paragraph (12) of section 170(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (relating to contributions of used motor vehicles, boats, and airplanes) is amended by redesignating subparagraph (F) as subparagraph (G) and by inserting after subparagraph (E) the following new subparagraph:

(ii)

the donee organization does not regularly use the property or services of any third party in carrying out such program (other than vehicle repair, maintenance, and towing services), and

(iii)

not more than an amount equal to 20 percent of the annual net proceeds from the sale of motor vehicles donated to such organization is paid to third parties for services used by such program.

For purposes of clause (iii), the term net proceeds means gross proceeds reduced by costs allocable to employee services under the program.
